We had a Lamar 48 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Jackson press conference. We had an official Jordan Love contract, 49 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: pretty unique. Something happened with him and then Aaron Rodgers, 50 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: the King of New York. So I wanted to dive 51 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: into the three different quarterbacks, and I want to start 52 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: with Jordan Love. Now, I can't stand cheap people with money. 53 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: Like I understand, if you're cheap and you don't have 54 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: any money, you have to conserve the money you have. 55 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: You got to be very careful. I despise people that 56 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of money and still pinch pennies, tip poorly, 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: that just get consumed by every single and there's a 58 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: difference of not blowing it and just like, come on, man, 59 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: what are you doing? Like money's not an issue, and 60 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: that a lot of NFL teams now have more money 61 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: than God. So when they sign these contracts. When the 62 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: Eagles signed Jalen hurts it looks like a lot of 63 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: money on paper, because listen, it is a lot of 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: money on paper. But as we just saw with Carson Wentz, 65 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: if it doesn't go right, they'll pivot. It won't be 66 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: that big a deal. And for thirty one teams, well, 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, some of these teams don't have as much 68 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: money as others. The Eagles are on the high end, 69 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: but for a wide range of problems. Twenty plus teams 70 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: that are led by massive successful businessmen, billionaires. Valuations of teams, 71 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: new stadiums, cash is flown, so they don't need to 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: think twice. So what makes the Packers a little unique. 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: They do not have an owner. And I'm not saying 74 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: they have to be conservative with their money, but they 75 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: have to be careful and they have been historically. And 76 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: it's why when Aaron Rodgers started freaking out about Gudikins, 77 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: I went, you know, Aaron, you've had it pretty good. 78 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: Like the Packers are a very very well run organization. 79 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: They have been my entire life, from a Hall of 80 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Famer Ron Wolf and Holmgren through Ted Thompson to what 81 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: they have now with Gudikins and Laflora now we'll see 82 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: if those guys are as good as you know, the 83 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: previous people running the organization. But I would say this 84 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: in their four or five years in charge, resurrecting Aaron's career, 85 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: pivoting off of them getting a good haul for him 86 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: having talented players on the roster, Like I'm impressed the 87 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: way Gudikins hand handled the Rogers situation. Same with the floor. 88 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: That's not easy. We see coaches and gms over their 89 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: head all the time, and clearly now we'll see on 90 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: the field moving forward, can they keep the winning ways going. 91 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm skeptical, but in terms of professional operators that they 92 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: have been impressive. And last year we saw a situation 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones didn't get his fifth year option, and 94 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: that was the right move. New coach, new GM, let's 95 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: kind of get a trial period, even though the owner 96 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: giants ton of money, really liked them, right, but they 97 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: wanted to just make him prove it. Now we can 98 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: argue how much he proved. Clearly was his best season 99 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: as a pro. Should he have got eighty million? Obviously 100 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: that's up for debate, But regardless what we all think 101 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: about the contract, they were in a tough spot. They 102 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: couldn't let them walk. It's impossible to replace them. The 103 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: owner wanted to keep them. Hell, they wanted to keep them, 104 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: and they had to quote unquote pay a lot of money. 105 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: And you know, if you want to say overpay, I'm 106 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: not going to argue with you. So the packers just 107 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: saw a situation that they don't want to be in. Right, 108 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: they can give a lot of money if you deserve it. 109 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers one hundred and fifty million. They were willing 110 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: to give DeVante Adams a huge contract that he wanted 111 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: to be traded. Like, they will pay premiums for premium players, 112 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: but they're not just going to blow money. And that 113 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: was I think one reason Aaron Rodgers started bitching and 114 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: moaning over the last several years is he wanted them 115 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: to pay older players right, And it's like, actually I 116 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: wecided with the management, like it was pretty good business. 117 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: Most of the guys that he was pissed off that 118 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,239 Speaker 1: had left. So when I first saw the story last 119 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: week or I guess it would have been, or maybe 120 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: it was over the weekend that they were negotiating over 121 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: the fifth year option, my first response, and anyone that's 122 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: listened to this podcast knows. I was like, what the 123 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: hell are they doing? You don't negotiate a fifth year option, 124 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: And then I immediately realized, no, they're trying to negotiate 125 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: an extension, which is smart business. And when you see 126 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: the money they gave him, basically an eight million dollars 127 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: signing bonus and it'll be on the roster for like 128 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen million dollars next year, like they're kind of 129 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: hedging their bet because if he sucks. If he sucks, 130 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: which is possible, like if after this season of being 131 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: in the league for several years, it just looks like 132 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: this is not going to work out. After seventeen games, 133 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: you cannot be on the hook for the fifth year 134 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: option twenty million dollar contract. That is, especially when you've 135 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: still got some of this lingering Aaron Rodgers' money on 136 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: the cap. That'd be a disaster. But you also can't 137 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: get into a situation where if he throws twenty three 138 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns and ten picks and you win nine games, you're like, 139 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: you know we're gonna we want to keep rolling with this. 140 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: Do you want to be in a position where he's 141 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: a free agent and then worst case scenario, you have 142 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: to franchise tag him, which is obviously more than the 143 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: fifth year option, or give him a long term extension, 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: which ideally don't want to do until you see some 145 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: more information. Now, Jordan Love and Daniel Jones are not 146 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: perfect parallels, right, Daniel Jones has played a lot of football, 147 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: even coming into this season, so his resume, you've seen 148 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: the improvement just based on the one season. This guy's 149 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: never really played beside you know the Chiefs game, Like, 150 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: this guy's just that there's nothing. Listen, you can believe 151 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: in a player, and we all has have as fans. 152 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: I remember seeing it firsthand, Like you're very bullish. All 153 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: these teams are on guys, they draft on guys they 154 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: really liked, and then they acquire whether it's a free agent. 155 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: But it changes once the guy plays. Hell, you can 156 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: see him in practice. It happens all the time. Guys 157 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: have success in practice. You get paid to perform in 158 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: the games. Right, So it was just a smart move. 159 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: It was a smart move to mitigate their risk. If 160 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,479 Speaker 1: he sucks, they still will have to pay him some money, 161 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: but they don't have to pay him as much as 162 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: they would have to pick up the fifth year option. 163 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: So the packers just continue to show well run business. Now, 164 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: the success of the franchise moving forward is either twofold, 165 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: this guy becomes a top fifteen quarterback and you stay 166 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: competitive and you stay in the playoff mix, or this 167 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: guy sucks so bad that you're drafting high enough to 168 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: draft one of the top quarterbacks next year and you 169 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: can just smoothly pivot with by probably cutting Jordan Love 170 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: and needing the money and whatever we'll get, you know, 171 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: Drake May. It's hard to see them be as bad 172 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: to get Caleb Williams, but you never know. We've definitely 173 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: seen crazier. Lamar Jackson officially signed his contract. The details 174 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: are out. We all know. I always the average per 175 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: year to me is such an overrated number. That's not 176 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: the way these guys are paid. Lamar Jackson just got 177 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: I think seventy five million dollars signing bonus. Like when 178 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge averages thirty five million dollars a year, Steph 179 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: Curry averages forty five million dollars a year. They get 180 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: paid that every single year. That's not the way these 181 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: NFL contracts work. So Lamar Jackson just eventually signed, which 182 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: we all said that he was going to have to 183 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: if he wanted to stay on the Ravens, and as 184 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: we saw, like, I don't think other teams were beating 185 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: down the door to give him a fully guaranteed deal, 186 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: a sweet quarterback contract in swet he sign. But I 187 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: think looking back last year that both have egg on 188 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: their face a little bit, like they both wasted a year. 189 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: You know that they should have found. It's on Lamar 190 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: for not realizing, like, you're not getting that money that 191 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson got. Nobody is that's the dumbest contract in 192 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: the history of the league, and more more likely than not, 193 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: I feel I don't think we're ever going to see 194 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson that we saw years ago. Too much baggage, 195 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: too much time away from football. And maybe there's a chance, 196 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: I mean, his best season they won like four games, 197 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: tad bit overrated player. I'm not saying some scrub, but 198 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: he definitely wasn't a two hundred and thirty million dollars 199 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: fully guaranteed contract guy, especially when he's got half a 200 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: Texas massage therapist coming after him. But Lamar Jackson and 201 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: the Ravens like should have found a way to figure 202 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: this out last year, and I put it on management, 203 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: and I put it on the quarterback because if you 204 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: would have told me this is a more prototypical quarterback, 205 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard like pocket quarterbacks, What does that 206 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: even mean anymore? Mahomes rambles around. Obviously, Josh Allen's a 207 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: big time athlete. You know, Burrow probably the most pocket 208 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: of those three, but he could move. But Lamar Jackson 209 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: is truly a hybrid quarterback. Like I have a hard 210 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: time seeing Lamar Jackson thriving at thirty five. You know, 211 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: that's not usually the way it works, even with the 212 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: successful running quarterbacks, right, Michael Vick. Look at Russell Wilson. Now, 213 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was a different runner in his prime than 214 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. But still it looks like he's washed. So 215 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: every year that you have in this guy's twenties that 216 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: you don't aren't all in everyone's on the same page, 217 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: is a complete waste. And last year is like you 218 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: just kind of threw it away to think you're just 219 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: gonna have like an eight year runway of him playing 220 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: at a high level, Like I probably I would hesitate 221 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: to say that. You know, the best couple of years 222 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: to me are like the next three or four and 223 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: one of them just happened, and listen, you'd be like, well, 224 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: Johnny got hurt. We had felt like and I know 225 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: that he said in the press conference that is his 226 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: knee just healed a month ago. I got that one, 227 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: Red Flagg, And I don't blame him like part of like, 228 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm not laying on the line for you guys when 229 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: you haven't paid me, and I'm blame the Ravens for 230 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: being mad. Like, Bro, we tried to pay you a 231 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: contract that essentially you just signed a year later. Now 232 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: we can argue about the money all we want. That 233 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: he ended up getting more money because he ended up 234 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: getting guaranteed money last year. Regardless, he was going to 235 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: be so rich no matter where he went. Like the 236 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: money was never going to be the issue. It was 237 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: arguing over the semantics of the deal, which he was 238 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: never going to win, and just wasting a year. Where like, Bro, 239 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: you're in the prime of your career, your prime of 240 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: your athleticism, which is the point of difference for you. 241 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: You are not Joe Burrow Patrick Mahomes as a thrower. 242 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: That's just not the case. You're not on their level. 243 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: But where they're not on your level. Is your remarkable 244 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: running ability? Now one thing that is going to be interesting. 245 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: They are going to shift, I would imagine, to pass 246 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: the ball more, you know, try to be more of 247 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: a true you know, I don't want to say pro 248 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: style offense. I don't even know what that means, but 249 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: to get away from what they had been the last 250 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: three or four years, which, let's face it was basically 251 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: a college offense that worked with Lamar Jackson and listen, 252 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: once upon a time, I was going to all these 253 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: forty nine er games and the forty nine ers were 254 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: kicking everyone's ass with the pistol zone, reed Kaepernick, and 255 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: then the fourth year with Greg Roman. Now, ironically Greg 256 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: Roman helped get Lamargo into but you know, he got 257 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: fired and now they got I think Todd Munkin right, 258 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: But that fourth year with Greg Roman, they tried to 259 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: run more of three to four wide receiver sets in 260 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: play a true passing game, and it was a disaster. 261 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: So there's a ton of pressure on this on this player, 262 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: there's a ton of pressure on this coaching staff, and 263 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: sometimes like we're gonna find out, can he just be 264 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: a true quarterback like Mahomes? Right, can he play like that? 265 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think they are going to 266 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: try to find that out and very quickly. And if 267 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: they can't, it wouldn't shock me if they just roll 268 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: it right back to what he does right, which is 269 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: run the ball remarkably well, I'm fascinated to watch this 270 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: thing play out. I think you know, they were just 271 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: in a weird spot, and I understand his reluctance in 272 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: a financial situation, like I'm not laying it on the line, 273 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: but I also understand their anger at him, Like, Bro, 274 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: we had offered you these great contracts. Now obviously we're 275 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: past it now and now it's just about football and 276 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: getting it done in the playoffs, because that's the big knock, 277 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: Like is this guy good enough? I have no doubt 278 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: in my mind if Lamar Jackson is healthy. If you 279 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: tell me he's healthy, seventeen games next year, it's like 280 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: they're winning eleven twelve games. Like that's just that's the 281 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: where he's at. He's better basically than the overwhelming majority 282 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in his own conference, which is by far 283 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: better than the other conference. But like, are you gonna 284 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: feel good about him in that first playoff game? Because 285 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: it's been a little shaky so far. And last but 286 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: I leaves on the quarterback front. I'm telling you, man, 287 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: there is nothing in ladies, even though we skew a 288 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: closer to one hundred to zero. But you know, obviously 289 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: some ladies firing the dms are like, listen, you got 290 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: some female listeners. I get. There is nothing like change 291 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: sometimes to just reinvigorate a human to make you just 292 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: feel good about a situation that you didn't feel good about, 293 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: whether it's fair or not right. Anyone listening to this 294 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: that has been in a toxic relationship, that has worked 295 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: at a job they don't like and entered a job 296 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: they do like, start dating someone new that you like. 297 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it makes you happy, It truly does. And 298 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: let's face it, there's a honeymoon phase with anything we 299 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: do professionally and personally, and you're seeing it right now 300 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: in full force with Aaron Rodgers. He looks happier than 301 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: a pig. And shit, I mean he's at MSG every 302 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: single night. Every single time that I opened social media, 303 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: it's a new it's Woody Johnson posting or the Jets 304 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: posting him just throwing bebis to Garrett Wilson. I watched 305 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: his interview with Pat McAfee. He couldn't have His smile 306 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: was enormous. You could just tell how happy he was. 307 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: And sometimes we talk a lot about this with coaches. 308 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: They like, sometimes you just need a change. The voice 309 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: just doesn't work. It's not because there's some idiots right 310 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: like the Bucks. Right before I started recording this, Mike 311 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: Budenholzer just got fired. And you know, I'm not I 312 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: don't claim to be red Arbach here or Phil Jackson, 313 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: but like, clearly Mike's out the village idiot, Like pretty 314 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: good coach, won a bunch of games in Atlanta, won 315 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: a championship with Milwaukee, and they just had a devastating 316 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: first round loss. Some might argue it's one of the 317 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: worst first round losses like the history of professional sports. 318 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: They're the betting favorite to win the NBA Championship and 319 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: then you just lose in the first round. They lost 320 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: in five games, meaning they won one fucking playoff game. 321 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: So listen, I'm I'm not going to try to bang 322 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: the table that he got screwed, though I did hear 323 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: someone say that. I guess his brother passed away in 324 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: the last month, but listen. It's pro sports can be cutthroat, 325 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: but maybe his message was just falling on deaf ears. Right, 326 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes coaches just need to change places just because it's time. 327 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean look at Andy Reid left Philly. How's that 328 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: working out? Seems like Andy kind of knows what he's doing, right, 329 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: I'd say the Chiefs benefited, but the Eagles it was 330 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: signed it was time for a divorce, And maybe it 331 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: was just simple. It was time for a divorce, right, 332 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: even though we all acknowledge like the chances Jordan Love 333 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: is ever as half as good as Aaron Rodgers's Slim 334 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: the Nun. Now, I understand if you're the Packers and 335 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: Gouda Kins and La Floyd, I can't deal with this 336 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: every year having a guy retires. Think about this the 337 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: other day, because I heard Jason Kelsey say something. Think 338 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: about the way Rogers and Farv and there have been 339 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: other players do this too. They're the most famous, at 340 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: least in the NFL. Just go about their retirement like 341 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: I might retire, might not. But it's not like, hey, listen, 342 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: just give me a minute, let me take a deep breath. 343 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: They're just constantly kind of toying with you. They're kind 344 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: of playing puppet master with your emotions, Like, hey, guys, 345 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: trying to run a team here where I was thinking. 346 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: Jason Kelce, who has thought about retirement these last couple 347 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: of years, have just done it pretty seamlessly, like, hey, guys, 348 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: I just need some time, give me some time. I'm 349 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: still gonna come work out. I'll keep you in the 350 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: loop the entire time. My cell phone never runs out 351 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: of service, so if you got any questions, you can 352 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: always hit me up. If I'm leaning one way, I 353 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: will let you, guys know, just open lines of communication. 354 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 1: And that's not really the way it goes now. I 355 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: understand open lines of communication when you lose respect for 356 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: someone or don't hold those guys to a high enough esteem, 357 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: especially at a high level industry like the NFL, where 358 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: you're just like yeah, I don't even care, like whatever. 359 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: The problem with Rogers doing that is like, well, you 360 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: got teammates. You know, the more the organization knows where 361 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: you stand, the easier it is for them to build 362 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: the organization. And clearly he has. I mean he immediately 363 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: told the Jets I'll be there this offseason. I will 364 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: work out with the guys and He's not only embraced it. 365 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: Every single night he's going to the game with different players. 366 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: So I understand where he's coming from, not in the 367 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: sense of like why he acted the way he acted 368 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but just how a new 369 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: situation Like I am so much happier, infinitely happier on 370 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: a daily basis, and I still can be kind of 371 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: negative sometimes being in Arizona than I was the last 372 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: couple of years in the Bay Area. It's not even 373 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: I can't I couldn't even quantify it. If there was 374 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: an ability to quantify it. It's not quantifiable, you know. 375 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: And maybe he just needed to get to a bright 376 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: lights place, right even though the Packers, and I'm not 377 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: trying to diminish the Packers are one of the biggest 378 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: brands in the league and he knows that. But it 379 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: was just time, you know, it was just time. And 380 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: I to me, the crazy part is two quarterbacks at 381 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: least in my adult life, that are better than him 382 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: both change teams too. Peyton Manning is Pat McAfee always 383 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: says I saw him get cut like I was on 384 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: the team when they cut Peyton Manning. Think how fucking 385 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: nuts that is? Peyton Manning went on an MV kick 386 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: ass for the Denver Broncos. Bill Belichick, I don't know 387 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: if you ever said these words to Tom, but he 388 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: clearly his actions spoke for we don't want you back, 389 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, we don't want you back. It's the NFL. 390 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: People change, right, And I'm telling you I am bullish 391 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: on this Jets team. I really am. I think they 392 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: are going to be defensively, we know they're good, and 393 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: I think Rogers just gives them stability. He doesn't have 394 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: to play it like two years ago, MVP level play. 395 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: If he just plays like you know, a fringe Pro 396 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: Bowl guy, it's hard to make the Pro Bowl in 397 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: the AFC. Right, mahomes a lock, Josh Allen's probably a lock. 398 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's a lock. Like you told me, Rogers didn't 399 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl this year. I would say, I 400 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: still think the Jets can win twelve or thirteen games 401 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: because to me, he can still throw twenty nine touchdowns 402 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: eight picks. You do that and you win some of 403 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: these games that like Zach Wilson, these guys were never 404 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: beating Bill Belichick, and Bill Belichick doesn't have some dominant 405 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: team anymore. But it wasn't even a fair fight. You 406 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: give them Rogers with a balanced team, a running game. 407 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean, look what happened to the Packers. Rogers didn't 408 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: play very well that first year with La Floor. They 409 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: won a bunch of games. Why because he ran the ball. 410 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: Because he ran the ball. And you know who's there, 411 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett, who they are clearly very comfortable with. And 412 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: that's another thing sometimes, you know, I think it also 413 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: is one of the great what ifs in sports history, 414 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: is the Denver Broncos hired It's not even arguable if 415 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: you watch and I did the press conference Aaron did 416 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: with Joe Douglas, and I think it was, Yeah, it 417 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: was Robert sala On when the trade became official in 418 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: New York. Like, Nathaniel Hackett was a huge, huge reason. 419 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: If you tell me Nathaniel Hackett's not the offensive coordinator 420 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: and it's you know, uh, North Turner's kid or Kobias kid, 421 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: he might not be a jet. And I think the 422 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, I don't even think it's debatable hired Nathaniel 423 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: Hacket becausey thought they could try raid for Aaron Rodgers 424 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden. He took one hundred 425 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars and they ended up with Russell Wilson, 426 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: who I'm not trying to talk shit Devin Bronco fans. 427 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: Maybe he bounces back with Sean Payton, but there's a 428 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: Chancey sucks. There's chances just it's over for him, which 429 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: would be a disaster because yeah, and who knows. We'll 430 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: see how Rogers and Hackett work. But Jordan loves now 431 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: the Packers starting quarterback Lamar Jackson has signed and Aaron 432 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers the happiest guy in America. I think I talked 433 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: about this the other day that at the time, I 434 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: think there were eleven fifth round or excuse me, first 435 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: rounders that had had their fifth year option. Well that 436 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: the date passed and officially now twelve guys, twelve players 437 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty draft had their fifth year option 438 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: picked up. That is clearly you know there's thirty two picks, 439 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: so you do the math, that's well less than fifty percent. 440 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer when it comes to the draft 441 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: because I saw it firsthand, like working for the Eagles 442 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: and Howie the way value matters, and what I mean 443 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: value is like if I don't have to take a 444 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: guy in the second round, but I really want him 445 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: on my team, I don't use a second round pick 446 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: on him when I know that I'm going to have 447 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get him in the fourth round. The 448 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: profits made a wise man taught me this a long 449 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: time ago. Maybe I read it, but sounds better that 450 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: someone told this to me is that you make the 451 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: profit in what you buy it for, not what you 452 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: sell it for. So anyone that's selling their home right 453 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: now for eight hundred grand, well, if you're making five hundred, 454 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: the profit was made when you bought the thing for 455 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: three hundred grand. So what you purchase a home for 456 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: a stock for no different than a player, right the 457 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: reason Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson, even after you gave 458 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: him an extension with the Cowboys in Seattle, when you 459 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: factor in those first three years as a mid round pick, 460 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: it's just the most incredible deal you can ever get. 461 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: And we always say that if you hit on a 462 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: first round pick like Joe Burrow, it's an incredible deal. Well, 463 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: imagine if you can get your starting quarterback in the 464 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: third round. So what round you take, guys, really matters. 465 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: But also, I say this all the time. We all 466 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: see it all the time. No one knows, not a 467 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: fucking soul knows who is going to be good and 468 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: who is going to be bad when the draft happens. 469 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: Chase Young, now I understand he was injured, went second overall, 470 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: did not have his fifth year option picked up. So 471 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: this notion that when people argue and I listen, I 472 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: see it on the internet streets when it comes to 473 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers because they took a kicker in 474 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: the third round, and listen, if Jake Moody, who the 475 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: kid they've drafted from Michigan, doesn't make kicks, it is 476 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: a disaster draft pick. But this notion that, like, well, 477 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: you should have taken like a tight end instead. The 478 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: chances of that guy's good it's like forty of thirty 479 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: eight percent in the first round. What do you think 480 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: it is late in the third round twelve percent. So 481 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: this notion that like anyone knows anything when the draft happens. 482 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: It's why it's so stupid with draft grades. It's why 483 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: every single team in the league when they make the 484 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: draft peak, they're hugging. I just watched It's awesome, and 485 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: the Colts have been doing a great job on this 486 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: for years. If you go to their YouTube channel, they 487 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: have like a thirty minute thing on Draft night, and 488 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: it's obviously a lot. It goes through the entire draft, 489 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: like the second round, third round, and they're later round picks, 490 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: but a large percentage of it is on Anthony Richardson 491 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: and Chris Ballard said that night like they had honed 492 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: in on him a month before the draft, like they 493 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: had concluded that's who they were going to take. They 494 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: love Anthony Richardson. Obviously Shane Steiken, Jalen Hurts, so it's 495 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: easy parallel there. Anthony Richardson's a good guy. They felt 496 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: very good about his comfort, about his character, his skill set, 497 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: and just his physical gifts speak for themselves, and they 498 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: couldn't be any more related. I mean, all their scouts, 499 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: all their obviously their owner. Your owner calls him the 500 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: potential to be a hero that or says, you know, 501 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: can be a little wacky, but he's right. If Anthony 502 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: Richardson hits like he will be a legend in the NFL. 503 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: He'll just be like, Oh, it's the the Colt's got 504 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: the mobile version that they're modern day Peyton Manning, but 505 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: more than likely history would show probably won't work out. 506 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him to work out because he seems 507 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: like a good guy. I know he's a good guy 508 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: because my scout buddies that you know I've done the 509 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 1: write up on him, that feel very comfortable with him, 510 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: and obviously a skill set he would be a very 511 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: very fun player. But like what if he doesn't. All 512 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: that hugging, all that fun is for nothing, like we 513 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: see it every single year. Nobody knows anything. Now, that 514 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that, like you don't go into a draft 515 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: with that mindset thinking you're gonna miss on the player 516 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: or it's not gonna work out, or you're gonna draft 517 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: someone that's not gonna have their fifth year option picked up. 518 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: But that is ultimately what happens, and it happens a lot. 519 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: So why I'm a big believer there is no such 520 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: which thing in practice. In theory, it's true, but in practice, 521 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: as a high floor it doesn't exist. Because every guy 522 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: that you have to draft, guy, this guy's a high floor. 523 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: This guy's a high floor. How those guys can't make 524 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: the team. Some of them do, Some of them turn 525 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: out to have high floors and then some of them 526 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: turn out to be like star players. So actually, actually 527 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: his floor wasn't just high, ceiling was high. And it's 528 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: just a fascinating way the NFL works now a lot 529 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: of it too, just because you don't have your fifth 530 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: year option picked up. These guys play in the league 531 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: for a long time, right, So some of those guys 532 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: that don't have their fifth year option picked up aren't 533 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: quote unquote bus they're not out of the league, right. 534 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: Two guys that when I you know, Mike Mayock, John Lynch, 535 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas, Cleveland Ferrel. Neither of those guys that are 536 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: fifth year option picked up, and they're off the Raiders 537 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: and they're off the Niners, right, they're onto new teams. Well, 538 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: both those guys are going to play in the league 539 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: for like eight to ten years, both of them. Cleveland 540 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: Farrell ironically is now on the forty nine ers. He 541 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: was just way overdrafted and we knew it at the time, 542 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: but he still would have gone in the first round, 543 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: you know what, Cleveland Ferroll probably should have gone, and 544 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: like the third if if that guy out of Clemson 545 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: was a third round pick, you go, you know what, 546 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: it's a really good draft pick. That's a fit you got. 547 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: You got a nine year pro in the third round. 548 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: What a pick. But when you take a guy in 549 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: the top ten and you don't pick up a see 550 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: your option because financially it doesn't pencil because part of 551 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: it you're already paying him a lot of money because 552 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: he's a high pick. It looks like a disastrous pick, 553 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: even though it's not totally because the guy is an 554 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: NFL player, But it's just kind of the way, you know, 555 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: this whole thing works. Two other things I saw draft wise, 556 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: Jake Hayner, the quarterback from Fresno State, and Stetson Bennett, 557 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: quarterback from Georgia, went back to back picks, and I like, 558 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: I understand why both those two teams. The Saints have 559 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: been in quarterback hell. Really, they started becoming like the 560 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos post Paydon Manning, just this revolving door that 561 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: you just don't feel good about the position room at all. 562 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: And think of what they did this year. They re 563 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: signed Jamis to be Derek Carr's backup, and they draft 564 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: a guy in the fourth round who Jamis, you know, 565 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: should be able to beat out. He knows the offense. 566 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: But you know, you never know, even though I think 567 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: they gave Jamis some coin, but I think they're good 568 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: with Like we will have three quarterbacks. Hell, we'll keep 569 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: Hayn on the roster. He'll just be uh, you know, 570 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: third quarterback, and he won't dress on game days. You know, 571 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: assuming that you know that rule's not going to change. 572 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: You have three guys. Like when you start going through 573 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: these quarterback situations where you get into a season, you 574 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: get into positions where you're like, you know, if we 575 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: just had a solid quarterback room, we'd be in the playoffs, 576 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: but instead, our quarterback situation is a disaster. The Rams 577 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: last year had to claim Baker Mayfield because their quarterback 578 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: position was so dire, it was so bad. And let's 579 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: face it, like Matt Stafford's health is a major major 580 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: question mark. Now it'll be pretty interesting because I saw 581 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,479 Speaker 1: the McVeigh said that Lafleur, who I forget it's Lafleur, 582 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: and forget the other coach, the quarterback coach Turner. I 583 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: don't know. All these guys are changed to go to 584 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: the same five teams. They kind of rotate really really 585 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: like Stetson Bennett and that was the guy that they 586 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: had honed in on it'll be interesting to see, is 587 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: that a guy that ultimately becomes a starting quarterback one day? 588 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: Because I listen, I would not have drafted him from 589 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: what I heard. He's a better player than I think 590 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: we all thought after the end of this season. But 591 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: one thing I learned from Colin is maturity. Especially you know, 592 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: this is not a twenty year old that video of him, 593 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: and I never tried to get on my high horse 594 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: act like I don't drink or you know, I can't 595 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: act like an idiot. But you get arrested, you're going 596 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: to the wrong place, which probably could happen to me too. 597 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: But the way that he interacted with the cops, and 598 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's just like, ah, I don't know, man, 599 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. We've seen this story before and it 600 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: usually doesn't end up well. Last but not least. I 601 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: don't think we talked about it that much during the draft. 602 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: About the situation with the Eagles. I think it happened 603 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: right before the first round, the Eagles and the Cardinals 604 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: that they had agreed upon a trade and basically the 605 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: Eagles got the Cardinals, who clearly drafted the top of 606 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: every round. Their third round pick. They swapped third round 607 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: picks essentially, and it happened right before the draft. It 608 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: was like, what is going on? And then it was 609 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: reported by Schefter that it was because of the tampering situation, 610 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: and I started thinking, they're really it always bothers me. 611 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: Like in the NBA, Adam Silver fined the Dallas Mavericks. 612 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: I think like seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for tanking, 613 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: like the second to last game of the season. You know, 614 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: the best they could do was the ten seed, so 615 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: that's the last playing team. It's like, Adam, you're such 616 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: a hypocrite man. You're half your league's tanking. What if 617 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: I was Mark Cuban, I would zero chance I'd pay 618 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: you a penny. You're gonna find me for tanking. It 619 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: was what Jerry Tarkane used to said. Kentucky cheated so 620 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: bad they bust to Cleveland State. It's just so stupid. 621 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: The entire NFL, just like basketball, everyone tampers and tampering 622 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: is It's not like tax evasion, right, It's not like 623 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: committing felony crimes Like I'm sorry, yeah, I talked to agents. 624 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: Whether it's about potential coaching candidates, or players all the 625 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: time because all these agents and represent these coaches and 626 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: players that are on my team. So we're not just 627 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: always talking about the guys that are on my squad. 628 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: That's part of my job, right, just like you do 629 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: in sales, like anyone does. You're always kind of trying 630 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: to get as close as you can to the line. 631 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: So when I saw that there was a tampering situation, 632 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: I went, you know, this seems a little crazy. I'm 633 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: sure this happens all the time. And then I read 634 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: Florio wrote today that one of the reasons the Eagles 635 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: were so mad because it made sense that Vic Fangio 636 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: became a consultant for Philly last year and he helped 637 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: them out. Hell, he was helping them out during the playoffs. 638 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: He was helping them game plan against the forty nine 639 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: ers going into the NFC Championship game. Well, why do 640 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: you think how he had him on the payroll because 641 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: he knew that Jonathan Gannon was getting some head coaching sniffs. 642 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: And if Jonathan Gannon was going to leave, who do 643 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: you think they would have made the defensive coordinator, not 644 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: the guy they did, they would have named Vic Fangio 645 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: the DC. So Vic Fangio. The Eagles thought Jonathan Gannon 646 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: was not going to get the airs on a cardinal 647 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: job because a lot of people did because it was like, ah, 648 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: who they are is on what's money going to do? 649 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: And clearly they were tampering with him during that Super 650 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: Bowl kind of window between the championship game and things changed. 651 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: They you know, I think it's fair to say they did, 652 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: like another secret interview when you're not allowed to interview, 653 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: even though all these people would be talking normally. I 654 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: understand if you're the Eagles, like, listen, I don't care 655 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: that you took Jonathan Gannon. Hell I would rather have 656 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: you take Jonathan Gannon so I could keep and elevate 657 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio. But Vic Fangio they didn't know had to 658 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: take the Miami job. Well, part of it is if 659 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: they would have known that Jonathan Gannon was going, Vick 660 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: Fangio would have been their defensive coordinator. So it makes 661 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: perfect sense. And who's mad the owner? What do you 662 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: think Jeffrey Lurry's trying to do? They got a Super 663 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: Bowl teams trying to win the Super Bowl. Why did 664 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles lose Super Bowl last year? Because their 665 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: defense because their defense Andy Reid spreading pretty basic plays 666 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: near the red zone or near the goal line and 667 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: scored walk in touchdowns. Walk in touchdowns probably not happened 668 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: against Vic Fangio, one of the best defensive coordinators of 669 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: last couple decades. Not a good head coach loike Todd Bowles, 670 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: but as a defensive coordinator, you can win big with 671 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: the guy. And it makes more sense because tampering happens 672 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: all over and this was not one of those like 673 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: a slap on the wrist. We don't want this to happen. 674 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: This happens specifically because they screwed over a team. This 675 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: was my issue with the Mavericks, Like who they screw over? 676 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: They didn't want to play in the playing game. Your 677 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: whole league's taking at them, finding them. It's just what 678 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 1: are we doing? It doesn't make any sense. So yeah, 679 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: mcfangiel's now with the Miami Dolphins, who they could be 680 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: a little bit better on defense and their quarterback situation solved. 681 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe Miami mcfangio's stud Okay, that'll do it 682 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: for the pod. Everyone have a good weekend. Thanks to 683 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: my guy Holsts on the audio, James on the video. 684 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: Those guys take care of me, and they take care 685 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: of me well. And to you guys, because this wouldn't 686 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: exist without you guys. Maybe would I'd probably just be 687 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: talking at the wall, but that'd be sad. But it 688 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: probably still happened, kind of still does. Uh. I want 689 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: you guys to have a good weekend. UH have have fun. 690 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: So talk to everyone soon. See it the volume
